The post of flat proxy heresy. At least plastic bases and miniatures photo are used, not ugly pixel art on paper.
Why?

1. I already can play full 2000 points, and try new ideas.

2. The army is literally pocket size. Sometimes it is crucial.
3. If any model break during the game, it can be replaced with a representative token.

I like the flat proxy idea, they are nice graphics and still do the job. The make me think of the original card punch out ships for Battlefleet Gothic actually! :P

Two new characters with terror rule. During the creation of detailed background for my Lost Kindred army I realised, that they do not have traditional possibilities to get terror. There are no dragons or forest spirits in their new home forest, only a minimum number of dryads. That's a real problem for lightly armoured elves. The replacement for nobles on dragons is mercenary Asarnil Dragonlord - the same cost and stat-line, but it's the only one dragon. A treeman ancient may be replaced with an owlbear - my army is built around owls, so it's a good reason to add the owl-like creature and say that it's the great sentinel-spirit of Forest of Gloom.

They looks great. Is that a scaled down WFB STL?

No, Asarnil is from Polish Lightning, before they removed it from their shop. In fact, original 28mm version had better details on the wings.
Owlbear is scaled down version from Artisan minis.
